Open Water vs Confined Water Training

Most trainings rely solely on pools. But aircraft rarely ditch into confined water.

That’s why our program emphasizes open water drills—to build psychological resilience, confidence, and adaptability in real-life scenarios.

You will train in:

  • ✅ Confined water (controlled environments for skill building)

  • ✅ Open water (for real exposure to waves, currents, and depth)

Goal: Eliminate fear. Sharpen instincts. Respond without hesitation.
